86n96 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 2001 CX613, E7 460 EUP. Hit a nasty bump, snapped the eyelet off the hot wire on the solenoid, then lost everything except lights. Got it hooked back up, and now it'll turn over and die immediately. Ignition switch fuse is hot to the touch, and it won't turn over until I let it cool. Currently waiting on the hook to get here, because I'm out of ideas, as is my mechanic. Any thoughts? Anything is helpful at this point. Thanks.

Keffer inc Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Wrong size wire or terminal used when fixing it?

86n96 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 2 years late, but there was an ignition wire in the radio harness rubbing the dash, killing the whole ignition til we found it. Ended up towing it. $800 for a 30 cent fix. Such is truck life. 🤷♂️ 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49028-positive-lead-broke-off-solenoid-truck-died-now-wont-stay-running/#findComment-428437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
